Hello, my 5 year old male (un-neutered) cat has black stuff down one ear he keeps scratching at it then the black stuff comes out. It smells really bad (possibly infected) and when I tell my parents they just treat him ''their own way'' which never worked.
We don't know if it's mites, a infection or if he had a fight because there is a cut on the outside which keeps bleeding. Right now it is healed up, but when he scratches it the scab comes off.
He won't stop scratching it!
We are trying to get him neutered as well otherwise the fighting will keep happening and it will be a revolving circle of inguries.
Only problem being...we have no money...
We have a huge gas bill to pay off and my father said at the end of the month we will take him the vets (which he keeps saying every month) it's stressing me out because I can't let the cat in my room because he just scratches his ear all over my bed.
Please no questions about why we don't have him neutered, im only 13 so I have only started being more wise about what a cat needs and what benefits having a neutered cat are.
Thankyou-Leah & Rocket.
